This unit builds on several concepts of motion covered previously in Physics 2204, extending these concepts into two dimensions. We examine the relative motion of objects moving through a moving medium such as flowing water; the motion of projectiles - objects moving through the air under the influence of gravity alone; and the use of conservation of momentum to describe collisions between multiple objects.

This unit builds upon many of the ideas surrounding forces from Physics 2204. Uniform circular motion describes the centripetal force and motion of an object moving in a circle; the basics of forces are extended to apply to objects on inclined surfaces; and the concept of torque is introduced to help describe forces acting on static (unmoving) objects.

This unit tackles some deeper concepts of physics involving fields: the gravitational forces acting between two massive objects; the electric forces between charged ones; the properties of simple resistor-based circuits; and the interactions between electricity and magnetism that create the electromagnetic force.

This unit serves as a light introduction to the concepts of quantum physics, first introduced in the early 1900s to help solve some of the problems that "classical" physics could not explain. Quantum physics involves the very, very, very small - we examine the energy and momentum of the smallest units of light - quanta - and how these particles, called photons, interact with matter.
